hello in the rain // ryland storms fanfic

beach day

I woke up the next morning and Ryland was in my bed. We didn't do anything he just comforted me. Friends do that. Right? Or maybe we were getting to be more than friends..I mean I don't think those kisses meant nothing but maybe i'm just one of his side hoes. Whatever.
    I got out of my bed and went to change I put on a sports bra and leggings. I went back out and Ryland was awake. "Oh hey sorry didn't know you woke up." I said. "It's all good." Ryland said. He reach in his pocket and grabbed a juul. He took a large hit then blew it out. I grabbed the juul from him and took a hit as well.
   Ryland got a text and he pulled out his phone to see. A minute or so later he put it down. "We're going to a party at sway. It starts at 9:30 pm." He said. "Mkay. Do you know who's gonna be there and what's gonna happen?" I asked. "I don't know who's gonna be there but there's drink, truth or dare, 7 minutes in heaven, pool, pole dancing, that typa shit." He said. I nodded then went over to the open place in front of my bed.
    I had like 12 feet of open space so I did my workouts there. I started my workout and felt Ryland eyeing me down. Then I did my squats. That turned him on. "You like what you see?" I said laughing. "Hell yea." He replied. I laughed again.
    After I got done doing squats I layed back down on the bed. "Can we cuddle?" I asked. He nodded and layed his phone down. I moved over to him and layed on top of him with my head on his chest.
    I swear I could've stayed there all day. He got a ft from someone and answered it. I think it was nick but I couldn't see. I saw that it was. "Hi Nick!!" I yelled at him. Nick and Ryland laughed.
Ryland and him talked for a while then I decided I was gonna go downstairs. I walked down stairs and Addie was sitting on the couch making out with Jaden Hossler. "Uh..Addie? Jaden?" I said trying not to laugh. "Oh shit sorry Bailey." She said. "Jaden come on let's go to my room or something." Addie said as she got up and practically dragged Jaden to her room.
That was interesting but whatever. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of orange juice. I went back upstairs and Ryland was on the phone with a couple people now. Looked like Nick, Blake(Blake Gray), and Noah(Noah Beck). I asked Ryland if I could come sit by him and he said yea. I sat down. Blake and Noah's faces lit up. "Ryland is that bailey?!" Blake said. "Wait your on the phone with Nick which means your not at the hype house." Noah said. I burst out laughing. "He's at my house idiots." I said. "Wait what were you all doing?" Blake said. "Having sex." Ryland said. I slapped his arm playfully. "I'm kidding I just came over to hang out." Ryland said again.
They talked for a while and then he got off. "Finally." I said rolling my eyes. "Sorry." Ryland said. "I'm kidding. Should we go out to eat? or like to the beach?" I asked. "Let's go to the beach." Ryland said. "Mkay you can bring your friends if you want." I said. He nodded and then I grabbed a bathing suit and put it on.
It was this one:

I put on a oversized hoodie over my bikini then I grabbed a towel, my phone, my juul, sunglasses, and blanket for the sand, and a beach ball. I grabbed a few snacks as well.
We went to the hype house so Ryland could grab his stuff and pick up Nick, Angel, and Michael. I swear there his main best friends I don't care what anyone says. He's like married to them. I laughed a little.
They all got in the car and I had to sit in the back now with Michael and Angel. "So what are you up to? I saw Ryland and you post stuff and you weren't here last night." Angel said. "We were just hanging out." I said. "She wants a ride I can tell." Ryland said. We all burst out laughing. "Storms I will beat your ass!!" I said. "Ooooo Rylands gonna get beat up by a girl." Nick said. "A badass one too." Michael added.
We all laughed and talked in the car. When we got there we all found a good open spot and I set up the area. I took my hoodie off and immediately felt eyes all over me. Other guys, the boys I came with, all of them. I didn't really like the feeling but it was fine.
"I wanna take some pictures." I said. "I'll take them." Nick said. I grabbed Rylands hand and went to an open sandy spot in front of the water. We took pictures and I saved them to post later. I went back to the blanket to chill for a bit and the guys went to the water to talk. I was sitting like a model. I mean I know how to model so why not use that skill. I tanned for a while.
I could hear the boys talking again. "I want her." Michael said. "That's my Shawty isn't she bad." Ryland said. "Dude but have y'all done anything yet?" Nick said. I know he didn't mean it in harm he was just asking because Ryland stayed at my house. But him saying that made me remember what Max said. Did he really use me for sexual tension? I don't wanna think about it but I can't help it. I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I got up and ran in the water. I shoved my face under the surface. I didn't want them to see me cry over something stupid.
Ryland came over and pulled me up. His arm was around my waist holding me. "Bailey are you okay?" He asked. I hugged him. "I'm sorry..I heard you all talking and Nick asked if we did anything yet. I know he didn't mean anything by it he just wanted to know but it reminded me of what Max said yesterday.." I said. "I'm sorry Bailey. I can tell what he said hurt I know you loved him. He won't bother you anymore." Ryland said. "I mean did you see the way you kicked his ass. You showed him his place and i'm happy." Ryland said smiling. That made me laugh a little. "I guess your right." I said.
He kissed me then. Long and soft. Water drops from his hair dripped down my face. His lips were wet. His hands holding me against his body. We had never kissed in public before. I already knew the boys were taking pictures. Then we stopped. I held him so close to me his breath was hot on my face.
I don't know what me and Ryland are. But I'm catching feelings..and I don't regret it.
